EpsychologyEpsychology is a form of psychological intervention delivered via information and communication technology. epsychology interventions have most commonly been applied in areas of health; examples are depression, adherence to medication, and smoking cessation. Future applications of epsychology interventions are likely to become increasingly more common in information, organization, and management sciences (e.g. organizational change, conflict management and negotiation skills).

Employee retentionEmployee retention is the ability of an organization to retain its employees and ensure sustainability. Employee retention can be represented by a simple statistic (for example, a retention rate of 80% usually indicates that an organization kept 80% of its employees in a given period). Employee retention is also the strategies employers use to try to retain the employees in their workforce. A distinction should be drawn between low-performing employees and top performers, and efforts to retain employees should be targeted at valuable, contributing employees.
Stress managementStress management consists of a wide spectrum of techniques and psychotherapies aimed at controlling a person's level of stress, especially chronic stress, usually for the purpose of improving everyday functioning. Stress produces numerous physical and mental symptoms which vary according to each individual's situational factors. These can include a decline in physical health, such as headaches, chest pain, fatigue, and sleep problems, as well as depression.
Repetitive strain injuryA repetitive strain injury (RSI) is an injury to part of the musculoskeletal or nervous system caused by repetitive use, vibrations, compression or long periods in a fixed position. Other common names include repetitive stress injury, repetitive stress disorders, cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs), and overuse syndrome. Some examples of symptoms experienced by patients with RSI are aching, pulsing pain, tingling and extremity weakness, initially presenting with intermittent discomfort and then with a higher degree of frequency.
Inhibiteur sélectif de la recapture de la sérotonineLes inhibiteurs sélectifs de la recapture de la sérotonine (ISRS ; SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) en anglais) sont une classe médicamenteuse de psychotropes, de type antidépresseurs. Ils opèrent dans le cerveau, notamment en augmentant le taux d'un neurotransmetteur appelé sérotonine (5-hydroxytryptamine ou 5-HT). Ils agissent en inhibant la recapture de la sérotonine au niveau de la synapse.
Trouble paniqueLe trouble panique est un trouble anxieux caractérisé par des attaques de panique récurrentes et sévères. Il peut inclure une peur des conséquences ou des inquiétudes d'avoir d'autres attaques (attaques dites anticipatoires). Une attaque de panique est un évènement court et intense, déclenché par une cause soudaine, inopinée et intense pendant laquelle on peut avoir une peur de mourir. Il ne peut être prédit, mais on en identifie parfois des facteurs déclenchants.
Relaxation (psychology)In psychology, relaxation is the emotional state of low tension, in which there is an absence of arousal, particularly from negative sources such as anger, anxiety, or fear. Relaxation is a form of mild ecstasy coming from the frontal lobe of the brain in which the backward cortex sends signals to the frontal cortex via a mild sedative. Relaxation can be achieved through meditation, autogenics, breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation and other means. Relaxation helps improve coping with stress.
Observational techniquesIn marketing and the social sciences, observational research (or field research) is a social research technique that involves the direct observation of phenomena in their natural setting. This differentiates it from experimental research in which a quasi-artificial environment is created to control for spurious factors, and where at least one of the variables is manipulated as part of the experilovement. Observational research is a method of data collection that has become associated with qualitative research.
SectA sect is a subgroup of a religious, political, or philosophical belief system, usually an offshoot of a larger group. Although the term was originally a classification for religious separated groups, it can now refer to any organization that breaks away from a larger one to follow a different set of rules and principles. Sects are usually created due to perception of heresy by the subgroup and/or the larger group. In an Indian context, sect refers to an organized tradition.
